The paper discusses experiences in using simulation, gained within implementation of the European research project that addresses the state-of-the-art in supply chain management. It is aimed at minimization of total inventories through the whole supply chain, taking into account a product lifecycle phase. Here simulation is used to support supply chain management processes thus providing conditions for minimization of inventories. Simulation provides a platform for testing developed algorithms, as well as allows efficient training in application of the developed methods.
